Coinbase fees are absolutely ridiculous.

You have to send btc, ether, xmr,or usdt to poloniex from another source like coinbase.

You don't buy into poloniex

You have addresses on poloniex that you can send specific coins to so you can buy items on the exchange

I have made two deposits to coinbase. Each time, the fee was between 1.4-1.5%. That is not terrible, but I have not withdrawn anything.

That's probably what the withdrawal fee is as well. I queued up 7k for withdrawal and they wanted $100, so that works out perfectly.

Added a few more altcoins to my portfolio just to hold in case any take off.

That is an awfully one dimensional crypto portfolio. I'm no expert, but I would recommend breaking up your ETH investment into ETH, ETC, Bitcoin (while watching for the hardfork coming in a few months), and either XRP and/or LTC.

Yeah that's never going to happen. I'm holding eth for the long haul. I definitely wouldn't split it up into ETC, XRP and LTC

That's fine, its just a riskier investment. There is a strong possibility that ETC will eat into ETH's market cap over the next year or two, not to mention the up and coming smart contract coins which use better coding software. I feel that ETH is a good investment but its grown so fast that the upside isn't quite there like some of the other coins. Of course I don't know when you bought into ETH.

I gotcha. I'm not a believer in ETC hurting ETH much. And, besides stratis, all of those smart contract tokens are using the ethereum network. The more tokens on the network, the better for eth. The risk of holding such a large percentage of eth is worth it for me.

The network and fortune 500 adoption is what sold me on potential for etherium. If I see that eith another currency I may enter it as well until then only Eth for me. At least as a serious long term investment

I'm just trying to wrap my brain around buying something that's grown 210% in the 32 days since I bought in.

It looks like some strong pressure to sell this morning.

I just signed up for a polo account to get a little exposure outside of eth.

I just don't see many of the alt coins as good tools to "diversify" with. Whatever % of your portfolio you want cryptos to take up is fine, but within that if you'd like 90% to be BTC or ETH, as of now you're taking a lot less risk that throwing money into SC, XRP, XEM, STRAT, GNT, etc.

I've moved money in and out of some of the alt coins, but they certainly are still "riskier" than the two (current) big boys.
